Lancaster police officers are searching for the man who stole an unknown amount of money from the Westgate Exxon convenience store, at 1101 West Meeting St., on April 9.

More training and better job placement for unemployed workers, as well as improved communication between local organizations, are all recommendations from the county’s first workforce study.

Senate District 16 voters will see these candidates on their ballots on Tuesday:
u Republican Greg Gregory of Lancaster
u Democrat Keith Brann of Fort Mill
